Cosmetic Dentistry Fixes Cracked, Worn, Discolored Or Broken Teeth
At Gunbarrel Dental Center
For
over 100 years, dentists have been using silver-mercury amalgam fillings
to restore decayed or broken teeth. The only other alternative is gold,
which while very strong, can be less esthetic.
Now there is a new and economical way to restore teeth in the Boulder
area using tooth-colored resin fillings. The resin is made up of glass
particles in a plastic matrix. Dr. Savory bonds the putty-like material
to the tooth with a high-intensity light. This hardens the material and
allows it to be shaped and polished for immediate use.
Once completed, the tooth has a natural appearance and is actually
stronger than before due to the strength of the adhesive agent used to
bond the resin to the tooth. Resin restorations can range from $150 to
$350 per tooth.
Please call our office at Gunbarrel Dental Center with any questions you may have about the benefits of
resin restorations.
